Who rules the pop world? None other than the incomparable Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter. But before the “711” singer became the queen of the charts, Madonna wore the crown. Songs such as “Like a Virgin,” “Like a Prayer” and “Vogue” catapulted Madonna’s popularity in the 1980s and secured her title as the Queen of Pop. Today, over the span of her illustrious more-than-three-decade career, Madonna has stood her ground against stars like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and many more. While the Queen of Pop has managed to sustain her music career, she has also stayed in the news for not only her music, but for controversy. While the world postponed and cancelled events following the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris, Madonna told her audience in Stockholm, Sweden, “Why should I allow them to stop me – to stop us – from enjoying freedom?” Although controversial, Madonna has always been dedicated to making music and creating visually, enticing performances. Jan. 14, Madonna brings her Rebel Heart tour to Tulsa’s BOK Center. For more information, visit www.bokcenter.com.
